An insane schedule has had me off the grid for a spell. You haven’t missed much. No, really. Here are the highlights.

NOTE: Fear of being dooced (a term I only learned yesterday … so much for my nerd quotient), has resulted in the occasional omission. Sadly, I don’t think it detracts much from the conversations.
